Eight Hundred and Five Near
Lin Yi's eloquence is average, and his speech is not so clear, but he did explain the design concept of the landing ship clearly.
To put it simply, the landing ship is a special rocket transport spacecraft. Its main task is not to send marines to the planet, but to recover the landing team members from the planet!
The Space Marine Corps is not the Marine Corps, and Jupiter's Moon is not a small celestial body with weak gravity. The gravity there is not much smaller than that of the earth. It is very simple to airdrop to Jupiter's Moon, but it is difficult to get the landing team members back to space.
If there is no landing ship, this mission will become a real suicide mission!
In fact, everyone knows that if they really get to the battlefield, it is hard to say whether the landing ship has a chance to land on the ground, but there is at least a hope of returning with such a thing, which is much better than going down and not being able to come up.
From a certain perspective, the landing ship is indeed a reassurance, but the effect of this reassurance is a bit poor. Ye Han thinks that a landing ship should at least be equipped with a pair of rockets. It is too insecure to have only one rocket.
Do it as soon as you think of it. After the meeting, Ye Han immediately found Gao Kai and told him his idea.
However, it was not only Ye Han who noticed this. The senior leaders of the fleet were also very clear and made corresponding preparations. In addition to the Yushan, there was another landing ship to follow the fleet.
Moreover, according to the above idea, two landing ships were a little less. The troops carrying out the landing mission should be equipped with three to four landing ships to be safer. However, the fleet was about to set off and there was no time to wait for the new ships to come off the line, so only two ships could be equipped first.
Gao Kai explained it very clearly, but Ye Han didn't think that two landing ships were safe at all. If he could make a decision, he would definitely delay the departure time of the fleet until the landing ships were fully equipped.
Gao Kai expressed his understanding of Ye Han's concerns, and at the same time assured Ye Han that the Third Fleet would definitely have more than these two landing ships, but the remaining landing ships had to wait for a while, and the Third Fleet had to set off first. The subsequent landing ships would strengthen their power. When they came off the line, they would be sent out to catch up with the fleet.
Ye Han still felt it was unreliable, but Gao Kai said so much, and he had nothing to say.
In the next few days, the fleet members returned to the base one after another. On February 18, the aircraft carrier battle group led by the Nanzhou aerospace carrier secretly set sail.
The battle group of the space fleet should actually be called the aircraft carrier battle group, but everyone thinks this term is not nice, so the name of the aircraft carrier battle group is used.
Many people also oppose the name of the aerospace carrier, always wanting to move the name of the aircraft carrier to the space battleship, and some people call the aerospace carrier a space carrier.
The military doesn't care what the spacecraft is called at all, but only cares about how the battleship performs in the battle against aliens.
After the fleet set sail, the officers and soldiers on the ship were collectively injected with hibernation hormone, and only a small number of people were left on duty on the ship. In order to talk to Bai Xiaoting for a few more days, Ye Han took the initiative to take on the first stage of duty.
The fleet had just set sail and was not far from the earth. The communication delay was very short, which basically did not affect the communication.
But the duty time was only one week. After one week, Ye Han had to inject hibernation hormone.
The day before the injection of hibernation hormone, Ye Han finally received the long-awaited news-the ultrasound examination found a gestational sac!
But Bai Xiaoting did not tell Ye Han the actual situation, because the doctor suggested that at least one gestational sac be removed according to her physical condition, and it would be best to remove two, so as to ensure the smooth growth of the remaining embryos.
The ovulation-stimulating drug still had side effects, causing her to get pregnant with three children at once.
Although she was just pregnant, Bai Xiaoting was reluctant to remove any of them and wanted to keep all three, but she did not dare to ignore the doctor's warning. After struggling for a few days, she finally removed one of them.
In order to ensure the survival of the remaining two embryos, Bai Xiaoting almost stayed in the hospital and did not come out. She had to consult a doctor no matter what she ate, drank, wore or used.
Fortunately, she was examined in the military hospital as a military dependent, and the hospital knew that her husband was a member of the expeditionary force.
They took meticulous and careful care of Bai Xiaoting, otherwise she would be alone at home, and it would be hard to say whether she could keep the two children.
Time flies. When Ye Han woke up, it was already late May. After four months of full-speed flight, the fleet had already arrived in the middle of the asteroid belt and was about to encounter Europa Zero.
Ye Han woke up with most people. In fact, as early as the beginning of May, the bridge officers of each ship had already woken up and taken their positions. The fleet adjusted its direction in a planned manner and accelerated along the scheduled flight trajectory of Europa Zero.
The fleet and Europa Zero are both moving at high speed. To complete the landing mission, the flight direction of the fleet must be consistent with Europa Zero, and the relative speed of the fleet and Europa Zero cannot be too different!
In the impression of ordinary people, the relationship between the fleet and Europa Zero is very simple. Basically, a straight line is drawn between the earth and Jupiter. The fleet and Europa Zero are on this straight line, just like two cars driving head to head on a road. If they want to accompany each other, one of the cars must slow down and turn around in advance, and then speed up to catch up.
But the actual situation is not like this at all. After leaving the earth, the fleet seems to fly straight to the asteroid belt, but the actual flight trajectory is an arc!
Absolute motion is relative stillness. To put it in a more vivid way, the flight trajectory of the fleet is like a piece of debris thrown from the earth, leaving a parabola in the universe.
This is not easy to understand. Let's put it in a more understandable way. The positional relationship between the earth and the fleet is equivalent to a parachutist throwing something horizontally!
People and things are falling, and the distance between the two sides is getting farther and farther.
The situation of Jupiter Zero is similar. It is like Jupiter throwing something to the earth. It looks like a straight line in the process of flying to the earth, but the actual flight trajectory is also an arc!
The result of this situation is that the fleet and Jupiter Zero seem to be facing each other head to head, but in fact they are more like two cars getting closer and closer at a Y-shaped intersection. Therefore, the fleet only needs to adjust the direction in time to cut into Jupiter Zero's flight track, instead of slowing down in advance and turning around to accelerate as ordinary people think.
The situation is a bit complicated. In short, the fleet is gradually approaching Jupiter Zero. When Ye Han woke up, there were only five days left before the expected encounter between the two sides.
As soon as all the officers and soldiers woke up, they began intensive combat preparations. The first task was to check all the weapons and equipment on the ship and other equipment.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was very close. The telescope can not only see Jupiter Zero, but also the alien fleet guarding Jupiter Zero, and the international fleet that is lingering!
